How to format Indie Hacker posts (how to add images, add headers, lists etc)

Markdown is hard sometimes.

You can just use a free editor like StackEdit.

But here is how you create formatting for Indiehacker posts.

Header

\## text text
To make a heading for an indiehackers post, on a new line add two pound signs, making sure you have a space between the ## and the text.

This is technically a subheading in Markdown, but Indiehackers treats it like a heading.

Subheading

Links

To create a link, enclose the link text (what you want it to say) in brackets e.g., [Duck Duck Go]) and then follow it immediately with the URL in parentheses (e.g., (https://duckduckgo.com)).
An anon search engine is [Duck Duck Go](https://duckduckgo.com)

Embedded Tweet

Copy and paste the tweet's link as a standalone paragraph.

(Meta isn't it?)

Inline Image

Text in your post...

Ordered Lists

To create an ordered list, add line items with numbers followed by periods. The numbers don’t have to be in numerical order, but the list should start with the number one.

1. First item  
1. Second item  
1. Third item  
1. Fourth item

1. First item
2. Second item
3. Third item
4. Fourth item

Unordered lists

Use dashes -

- First item  
- Second item  
- Third item  
- Fourth item

• First item
• Second item
• Third item
• Fourth item
